Università Roma Tre

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of psychiatry through a focus on identity psychopathology. We will see that there is a close interrelationship between the construction of psychological well-being and identity consolidation, which reveals itself most clearly in the developmental psychopathology of attachment. For according to attachment theory, maladaptive patterns in the infant-parent relationship are the origin of an insufficient sense of identity that may give rise to mental disorders.
The course will focus primarily on the dissociative disorders, including "psychogenic" or "functional" amnesia, fugue, dissociative identity disorder (DID, also known as multiple personality disorder), and depersonalization disorder.
